Paul Selby Comic Reviews

This first issue is an engaging mystery featuring two iconic characters and I'm looking forward to the next issue.

Company crossovers tend to not have a large degree of quality to them and seem more designed for making a quick buck then telling a good story. So far, this series raises that very low bar with a compelling and stylish story that is worth your time and money.

This issue was a tense and action-packed issue that was over far too quickly. With only two issues left in this story, Batman/The Shadow continues to be the best series Ive read this year. Go buy it.

In summary, a solid start. Go buy it.

In summary, this series continues to be a compelling, well written story with some interesting character work and dynamic art. Go buy it.

While not particularly plot heavy, the sheer fun of the issue continues to drive this story forward and it's a blast to read. More please.

This may not be a perfect story, but what it lacks in substance it more than makes up for in sheer enthusiasm. Go put on your best bungee cord utility belt and pick it up.

While I doubt that the creators are anywhere near finished with these characters, if Frank Miller never returns to the Dark Knight Universe, this would be a good ending" or good enough.

All told, this issue is a step in the right direction. I'm curious to see if this is a sign of the title improving and it'll be interesting to see how the story continues.

Ivan Reis' art is a stand out of this issue. Reis handles the character moments and the action well. I like that his style manages to be detailed and dynamic without being overly stylized or seeming like a Jim Lee clone.

JLA continues to be an engaging team book thats coming into its own with each issue. Its worth your time.

Over all, this is a great second issue with a compelling ending and I'm looking forward to where this story goes next.

All in all, despite a few shortcuts, it's an enjoyable read and I'm looking forward to the next issue.

All in all, while not perfect by any means, this is a step in the right direction and Im happy to actually be looking forward to the next issue.

Eaton does a good job with what what he's given to work with. I don't think Scot Eaton will ever be one of DC's top tier artists, but he gets the job done and has shown himself to be a solid fill-in artist.

In summary, despite a dip in the art this issue, JLA continues to be a strong book. Go buy it.

In summary, this issue is very much like the series on the whole. It gets by less on plot or story, and more on the sheer enthusiasm the creative team has for these characters. It remains an enjoyable read and is worthwhile for anyone who's wished for new episodes of Batman: The Animated Series.

In summary, while not perfect, the issue is a marked improvement for the series and I hope that the creators can keep moving in this direction.

In summary, the issue is fairly middle of the road and while still entertaining, has too many ideas that have been done better elsewhere.

This series has stumbled in the execution of the last few story arcs. This issue sees a marked improvement and Im interested in seeing where things are going to go next. I would recommend this issue as a good jumping on point for anyone who is looking to get caught up before joining in.

While this issue on its own has some entertaining moments, as the end of this story arch, is ultimately unsatisfying.

In summary, JLA stumbles with this issue. The issue is still enjoyable, but doesnt live up to the strong start of the previous issues.

In summary, this issue is caught juggling left-over pieces of the last story that did not work along with trying to push forward with a more character-driven story that has some potential.

This story continues to underwhelm. The action is great, but that's all this title seems to be good for. At this point I'm just hoping that this story line wraps up soon, along with it's writer.

Despite an intriguing ending, this story continues to limp along. And while I'm interested in seeing where it's going, I'm more interested in the story ending.

This is a book that continues to fall down in the writing. Hitch has had a good year with most of these characters and it appears that he's just not up to the task.

What his issue comes down to is that it's mediocre and not terribly interesting and frankly, a title like Justice League deserves better.

In summary, JLA has started strong and still is playing with some interesting ideas, but is bogged down in its execution and art in this issue and as shown in the earlier issues of this series, they canand should do better.

This book is like the first season of Star Trek: The Next Generation. Its well meaning and its got potential, but while its going through its growing pains, its kind of painful to watch. Heres hoping the next story arc is a step in the right direction.

Now that the Rebirth issue is done and over with, hopefully more time will be given to better craft the story. Or at the very least, a villain that doesn't pair as well with a lemon butter sauce.

Overall this was a letdown from the recent quality of the Nightwing title and probably should have been condensed down " like so many stories in modern Big Two comics the need to stretch the story out didn't serve it well. That said, I definitely am looking forward to the next issue and arc. This creative team is strong and can handle a small bump in the road.

In summary, this is a storyline that went nowhere in a hurry. Do better guys.

This issue is a waste of time and your money. If you haven't bought it yet don't waste your time.
